Hey aspirant,

The future scope of B.Sc Physics is vast. You can be either of the following after pursuing B.Sc in Physics :-

Lab Supervisor

Researcher

Consulting Physicist

Research Associate

Senior Physicist

Technician

Teacher

Scientist

Assistant Scientist

Radiation Oncologist

Radiologist

Professor

Jobs in Government and private sectors

To be a professor in Physics you have to complete your M.Sc in Physics and then do phd. You can give the entrance exams like IIT JAM, NEST, JEST,IISER etc. For your higher studies from eminent colleges.

Hope this helps,

All the best!

Hello aspirant,

Hope you are doing well,

  • You should pass 10th class with a minimum first class and this is called +10 years of education
  • You should next pass 12th class with minimum first class and this is called +2 years of edu after 10th.
  • Next you should have completed a three year bachelor degree and obtained pass. As you desire of becoming a professor of physics, you are expected to have passed BSc Physics with a minimum first class. Studying Physics related degree is only mandatory and not any other subjects. If you are from reservation category, you can obtain minimum 55% or above through out all years of education.
  • Completing BSc students can either apply for direct PhD or take a masters route. A Masters route is more desirable as it develops students with more in-depth knowledge in Physics compared to a bachelors degree and it certainly prepares the student well for a research degree like PhD. So you should study a MSc Physics and obtain first class in this case.
  • Next, write GATE exam and obtain high rank if your focus is studying at IIT institutions. If you dont want to study at IIT, and want to consider other institutions then a UGC-NET score/ CSIR score is essential. You are also expected to have passed UGC-JRF to be eligible for monthly stipend during PhD.

So completing a Phd, you can work at colleges and universities directly as an Assistant professor and after few years of experience and good performance you are likely to be promoted as a Professor.

For studying a PhD in Physics, you can consider top institutes from India like

IIT institutions

IISC Bangalore

BITS Pilani

University of Delhi

University of Mumbai

University of Calcutta

VIT University

Anna university and many more

Hope this information helps,

Best of luck
